  • Longley Hall: the Huddersfield Seat of the Ramsdens
    chapter one 1 Longley Hall: the Huddersfield Seat of the Ramsdens brian haigh IN 1531 WILLIAM RAMSDEN (c.1513−1580) married Joanna Wood, one of three daughters of John Wood who was among the wealthiest men in the community. Within a short time, he had acquired all John Wood’s properties to add to his own growing portfolio. The acquisition of Longley, the Wood family home for over two centuries, bought from his wife’s brother-in-law, Thomas Savile, in 1542, was his great prize. Longley was typical of the homes of the lesser gentry of the district. Timber framed, it consisted of a central hall open to the roof, and two cross wings forming an ‘H’ plan house. Elements of the original structure have survived the numerous changes which have been undertaken over the centuries. Dendro-chronological analysis of some of the timbers suggests a date of around 1380 and there is documentary evidence for a house on the site from earlier in the 14th century. This house was probably enlarged during the following century and there were further changes after 1542 when the Ramsdens gained possession.1 Having consolidated his Huddersfield landholdings, William began to speculate in monastic property which had recently come on the market. He spent much of his time away from home and it has been concluded that he and Joanna had separated. She died childless in 1565, whilst William settled his dynastic ambitions on his brothers John and Robert.2 From 1559, John (151? - 1591) rented Longley as a home for his growing family.

  • Royal Holloway Chapel the Chapel
    Royal Holloway Chapel The Chapel The Chapel at Royal Holloway, University of London is one of the highlights of the magnificent Founder’s Building. As you look at the monumental clock tower front from the main gates, the Chapel forms the left hand wing of the Founder’s Building front under the clock tower while the right hand wing contains the Picture Gallery. Thomas Holloway employed William Henry Crossland (1835-1908) to design the Renaissance Revival building, based on the Chateau de Chambord in France. Construction began in 1874 and was finished in 1881 but the College was not formally inaugurated by Queen Victoria until 1886. Something of a puzzle College chapels were a central feature of the Oxford and Cambridge Colleges. Since medieval times, the daily life of the staff and students who were mostly resident, revolved around the chapel, the refectory and the library and were closely connected to the Church of England. However, University College, London and Bedford College for Women, with their strong non- conformist connections had neither chapels nor chaplains. Royal Holloway’s Chapel is usually attributed to the inspiration of Jane Holloway, Thomas’s wife, at whose suggestion first the Holloway Sanatorium and then the College were founded. In the College’s original statutes, the day was to begin with ‘a simple service of readings, prayers and hymns of a Christian household’ that suggest the evangelical piety of Jane. However the size, the grand design and gilded interior of the Chapel are much more reminiscent of the Chapel of the Palace of Versailles than that of an English non-conformist domestic Victorian puginesque decoration on the walls chapel, and with more than a hint of Renaissance Catholic taste.

  • The Tokens of Thomas Holloway
    THE TOKENS OF THOMAS HOLLOWAY By R. C. BELL Obverse:—The bust of Thomas Holloway facing left, with J. MOOBE on the truncation. Legend:— PBOFESSOE HOLLOWAY LONDON. Reverse:—Hygeia with flowing hair seated between two pedestals and facing right, with her right foot resting on a stool. The pedestal on the left is surmounted by an orb and that on the right by a flame. A serpent is climbing up this pedestal and drinking out of a cup held in Hygeia's left hand. On the ground at the right are the diesinker's initials, J.M. Legend:—HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT' with 1857 in the exergue. Edge:—Plain. A similar halfpenny-sized piece was issued the same year and the pair, illustrated above, were reissued in 1858 with the new date in the exergue. (Samuel Nos. 298, 299, 302, 303 and Atkins Nos. 347, 348, 349, 350.) The diesinker, J. Moore of Birmingham, was a skilled craftsman of whom Timmins in his Birmingham and the Midland Hardware District, London, 1866, p. 565, wrote:—'Mr. Joseph Moore of Summer-lane, is at the head of his profession; and as an artist and medallist is hardly surpassed by the best of his predecessors, either in power of design or spirit and skill of execution.' These pieces have been regarded by some as medals, but they bear the name of the issuer, are dated, and were used as currency in London; though the majority were sent to Australia where they are regarded as having formed part of the early currency of the colony.

Now, thanks to its location on the Yorkshire coalfield, the history of Kellington Church can be revealed following an archaeological investigation which was carried out by the University of York during 1990-91 and funded by British Coal in advance of coal mining.

  • Samuel Swift (1846–1929) – a Life Set in Stone 107
    Samuel Swift (1846–1929) 105 – A Life Set in Stone family roots being born into a family tradition of stonemasons dating back 200 years might have been quite daunting for a child. Samuel Swift’s family trade as stonemasons and builders dated back to the 17th century. Fortunately by the time he was a teenager, Samuel was showing a considerable talent for stone carving. This aptitude turned into his life’s work, beautifying England’s churches, cathedrals and public buildings. Samuel’s grandparents were George and Sarah Swift of Cawthorne. George was a stonemason and Sarah a schoolmistress. Samuel’s father Benjamin was their youngest surviving child. He became a stonemason and ultimately a builder, working on contracts in the Cawthorne area. In 1842 he married Caroline, the daughter of John Puddephatt from Norfolk. John had moved the family to Samuel Swift © Errington Cawthorne to become an excise man at the malt kilns at the top of Taylor Hill owned by the Clark family. At the time the canal reached Cawthorne Basin and they were able to move their belongings, from Norfolk, entirely by water. The Swift and Puddephatt families were well respected in the village. Cawthorne is a rural village and then was part of the Cannon Hall estate owned by Walter Spencer Stanhope. It had its own industries such as a saw mill and a tannery, as well as a post office, a village school and both an Anglican church and a Methodist church. The estate was managed from the Spencer Stanhope family home, Cannon Hall, which stands on the hill above the village.

    ARCHITECTS and WILSON WEATHERLEY PHIPSON In 2002 the CIBSE Heritage Group produced a biography Wilson Weatherley Phipson, Victorian Engineer Extraordinary 1838-91, written and edited by Brian Roberts, Chairman of the Group. It was updated in 2006 and a limited number of copies printed. It ran to 142 pages with 63 illustrations and featured many of the Victorian hand-written Phipson documents in the Heritage Collection. An electronic book version was subsequently added to the Heritage web site. In addition, further updates have been posted under Victorian Heating Engineers by Heritage Group Webmaster, Frank Ferris. Wilson Phipson worked with many of the leading Victorian architects, men who became RIBA Presidents and who won RIBA Gold Medals, who were Competition Judges and whose works are still admired today. He had repeat commissions from some which indicates Phipson worked well with them and it appears that they recommended him to fellow architects. Phipson also worked with a number of less well-known architects: Bedborough, Matthew Hadfield, Edward Holmes, Horsfall & Williams, Edward I’Anson Jr, Marsh Nelson, Tarring & Wilkinson, R Stark Wilkinson and Christopher George Wray. Information on these collaborations is given in the Phipson Biography. BMR, 2009 Robert Rowand Anderson 1834-1921.

  • Visionen Von Architektur Überväter
    TU Dresden, Fakultät Architektur Prof. Dr. Hans-Georg Lippert Vorlesung Baugeschichte (G+T AKA, WA I/II) Wintersemester 2017/2018 Visionen von Architektur 5. Vorlesung Überväter (I) Paternalistisches Unternehmertum in der Zeit der Industrialisierung Begriff: Paternalismus (von lat. pater = „Vater“): Allgemein: Herrschaftsordnung, die auf einer vormundschaftlichen Beziehung zwischen Herrschenden und Beherrschten gründet. Speziell: Von Robert Owen geprägter Ausdruck für die private betriebliche Sozialpolitik von Großunternehmern im 19. Jh. (Betriebskrankenkassen, betriebliche Altersversorgung, Werkswohnungen, Werkskantinen, Krankenhäuser, Schulen, Kultureinrichtungen, Sportstätten). Der jeweilige Betrieb wird zu einer vollständigen, „väterlich“ vom Unternehmer bestimmten Lebenswelt, die Gemeinschaft stiftet und revolutionären Bestrebungen vorbeugt. Ausgewählte Beispiele: Jean-Baptiste André Godin (1817 - 1888) Guise (Picardie, FR), genossenschaftliche Gemeinschaftswohnanlage (Familistère) mit Bildungs- und Kultureinrichtungen (Kindergarten [erste Einrichtung dieser Art überhaupt], Schule und Theater), angegliedert an die Usines Godin, eine metallverarbeitende Fabrik (1859 - 1880). Beispiel für eine Charles Fourier und dessen Idee vom Phalanstère beeinflusste Konzeption, jedoch unter Beibehaltung der traditionellen Familienstruktur. Auch der Unternehmer selbst wohnte in der Anlage. Ein zweites, kleineres Familistère entstand 1880 bei der Tochterfirma der Usines Godin in Brüssel-Laeken (BE).
